A metastable state, characterized by a low degree of mass localization is identified using Density Functional Theory. This free energy minimum, located through the proper evaluation of the competing terms in the free energy functional, is independent of the specific form of the DFT used. Computer simulation results on particle motion indicate that this heterogeneous state corresponds to the supercooled state.
